I have 3k miles on my 2015 urban enduro and I went to change the rear tire tonight. When I got the wheel off I checked the bearings and all 4 are shot. They all grab when turning by finger. Does anyone have part numbers or a source for them? Thanks.

Star Twin: the online shop for Ducati OEM spare parts and accessories.

Send that link to AMSducati.com and tell them what item number you need and they will message you back with a part # to enter on their website to order online.

You could order straight from Star Twin but they are somewhere in Europe, probably faster and easier to order through AMS.

Are the bearings not covered under warranty?

Nope, bikes out of warranty.

Thanks for that link! I was able to find all the bearings I need on amazon!

How did you know what size the hub bearings were? The diagram only listed the size for #21 BEARING, 35X62X14. What size is #15 BEARING?

 

[Wallcrawl]

The part number was on the beating itself. NSK 6005du. The bearings I. Sprocket housing did not have a number etched on them.

 

[ScramblinGraham]

Ah gotcha. Well good information to put on the forum in case someone comes searching for wheel bearings.

Ill do a full write up, I was surprised how easy they are to change on the scrambler. The bearings in the hub BOTH have a recess they sit in so you cant over do it on the axle tube! Peeled apart the offending bearings and they were full of grease, I'm seriously wondering if the shop over tightened the rear axle when they did the first service. I do all my own work on the bikes but some reason decided to let the dealer perform the 600 mile service..

It wouldn't make any difference if your workshop over tightened the rear axle. The load is supported between the bearing inners and the bearing spacer inside the hub. There would be no axial load on the bearings at all unless the bearing spacer was too short.

Hi sorry to resurrect an old post, am thinking of changing all of my bearings. Some weird sounds rotating the rear wheel and the front dues grab a bit on my 2015 3.8k icon.

Are they just straight forward for both wheels all 6 of them?
I don't have any special tools just planning to tap then out and get the new ones from the freezer in.
Any advice welcome. Cheers

Hi, I changed my rear wheel bearings 3 times and feel like I’ve become a pro at doing it now.
The sound your bearing makes when going bad is a really bad clunking/binding sound, if it’s gone bad and you waited too long it could destroy your axIe, wheel hub, and swingarm. If you don’t feel confident take it to a dealer or indie shop.

I bought this tool to remove them,
Pit Posse Wheel Bearing Remover
It seems unavailable now but motion pro makes an equivalent.

I cross checked a lot of Ducati OEM wheel bearing part numbers and read somewhere that depending on luck you may get OEM bearings from China.

I found the equivalent bearing on eBay, made in Japan. I’ve done multiple track days on these bearings riding the absolute piss out of my bike and no issues so far, my bearings going bad previously we due to spacer issues from swapping my wheels.

I did not change the sprocket carrier bearings, they are much bigger than the front and rear wheel bearings and costly, from my part checking I figured out it’s cheaper to buy a used sprocket carrier from eBay than to purchase and replace the bearings in your hub.

there’s a bunch of guides on YouTube, but basically you need some grease, a mallet, and a socket that matches the external diameter of the bearing. You could also buy a tool specifically for this but they serve the same purpose. Tap the bearing in around the edges in a circle until it’s half way in the hub and even on all sides, then use the socket/bearing tool to whack it in, but be careful to not hammer your hub or the inside of the bearing, It’s very easy to damage it!

Don’t do what I did and install both bearings without the axel spacer in the middle

Great, thanks for that. Again, a bit bizarre bearing failing on my bike at such a low mileage, but hey ho. Cheers for the input👍🏻
